The Brecon Beacons





There is something to be said for being awake at four am, you get a lot done by seven: two loads of laundry, a finished bobbin of yarn and a batch of cakes. Unfortunately, by the time nine o' clock comes round you are no good for anything much, so despite a free morning for V, there will be no morning jaunt for us as I am cwtched up under a fluffy blanket, surfing and toying with the idea of making a hat (with the latest silk yarn in a bewitching shade of kiwi fruit green). V has sweetly made me a cup of hot blackcurrant and has disappeared off to his shed to do man things. A quiet morning for me I think.

So here are a few pictures of the last jaunt we went on a few days ago. The Brecon Beacons are not so far from us. A beautiful spot where children can run wild in summer but gets so harsh in the winter that the SAS chaps risk their lives training there. The mountain centre does a beautiful cup of hot chocolate and you can sit outside in the biting wind and listen to skylarks pouring song from the clouds. Breathe deep and feel the clean air doing you good.

Hope you have a beautiful day.
